David Potts, LCSW

David Potts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. He helps adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related problems. He also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

He works with adults on concrete problems that get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on identifying pressures at home or work and finding steps that reduce overwhelm. He often addresses how family roles, communication, and past losses affect current functioning.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets him combine short-term skill work with conversations about meaning and values. He uses motivational strategies when people struggle with change.

David has experience in outpatient and residential settings and has worked with people who have faced trauma, abandonment, substance use issues, and serious mental health challenges. He has also supported teens in foster, adoption, and disrupted family situations earlier in his career.

In sessions he looks for root causes and practical shifts clients can make. He favors steady progress over perfection and helps people try small changes that fit into day-to-day life. People who need help managing parenting strain, family conflict, or personal mood and stress often find this style straightforward and direct.
